Education System - At its worst ( in my opinion )

Recently, my five year old niece went for some entrance exams for getting an admission to two schools. In one school, the time management is so bad that they called kids at 11:30 or 12 and made them to wait for hours and finally my niece came out at 3:30pm!! Come on guys, they are kids. Can't you have some time sense at least for them?

And, there is this another school called New Horizon in Bangalore. And, just see the kind of questions they are asking for Class-I entrance exam. Kids have been asked to copy an English para and also asked to copy a Hindi para (!!!, they are still learning A,B,C s of Hindi and these people are asking for copying Hindi paragraphs). I don't understand what are they going to teach in 1st class now? Also, I heard that they had some questions on English grammar. I don't know. I feel these kind of entrance exams should be banned and the school administration should be punished for it. Come on, it is such an young age for kids. Why the hell you need an entrance exam!!! Wish Govt take these kind of thing seriously. This is not right way of education.
